The East Tennessee Children’s Home Academy (ETCHA) recently held one of their largest fundraisers, the Scott Ramsey Memorial, at the Elizabethton Golf Course as 94 golfers converged on the course in an effort to support the efforts of the home.

By the end of the day, there was a little over $30,000 raised.

“The outpouring from the community and support was amazing it was just a beautiful day and a great time for all,” said Ron Marvel – ETCHA Director of Development.  “ I can’t say thank you enough for our sponsors these dollars will make a huge difference for children and families in our community.”
